    Woundings is an arty futuristic film full of action and romance.

    Woundings is a futuristic film, but has no real time scale to it, set on a remote island after a war(which is loosely based on the Fauklands war), we have a group of British soldiers who are living amongst the islands local inhabitants, when the British government recruit young women to move there to start a new colony. The film is packed with action, adventure, love and romance, and some humour!! It has a great script and is directed well, and boasts an exceptional cast, it's not your average post war film, but has many memorable moments. There is a great section to look out for where the "prince" visits his troops, I won't give away what happens, but you may see that the "prince" is based on what Prince William (England) would look like in the not so distant future!!! anyway, I recommend this film, and I think you will all enjoy it!!

    Where they stoned

    This was just weird Maybe something got wrong when they transformed it from play to manuscript for this didn't work at all. Everybody just

    acts weird, and I am not sure if it was the characters

    that were stoned or the script writer/director...

    crap 2/10

    watched it once, giving away the DVD...

    and Guy Pearce: What is he trying to do? A nerve damaged weirdo or a drug addict?

    want 10 lines 10 lines of text I am singing in the rain just singing in the rain what do you want to use these crappy rules for ?

    Short comments should be OK too, especially for crappy movies

    A script that deserved better

    A disappointment, I must say, since it's based on a play by Jeff Noon, one of my favourite writers. A psychedelic futurism is sought, with lots borrowed from A Clockwork Orange, but the weird photography doesn't quite fly and it does all get a bit stagey. The cast is very good though, but again, the performances are more theatrical than cinematic. The script is in itself quite oddball enough, and could have taken a more deadpan, or highstrung, or subtle rendering. Just imagine Kubrick behind the camera. Some very memorable moments, my favourite: the prince visiting the newlyweds. It should have been better, but it's still worth seeing (for those who like this sort of thing); ordinary it ain't.

    Worthless Artsy Junk

    Horrible. Terrible. Awful. Words just can't describe this artsy, soft-core, sex-violence romp, passing itself off as an anti-war film with deep meaning. The characters are just that, "Characters". One is crazier then the next. Each is suppose to be haunted by a war that has just ended, making each a wild, out-of-control, sex-starved, bunch of psycho misfits. The acting is way over the top, cheesy, and basically terrible. Guy Pierce looks pale and sickly, and at one points climbs up a tree to scream at the moon in a lunatic howl. He must of seen the final result of his performance in this smelly mess. However, there are a few minor good points. A beautiful island, a host of sexy-long legged British beauties who can't wait to strip off their clothes, and even the legendary 1960s model, Twiggy, ardently kissing another women; bedding her down in the process. If you're looking for a great ant-war film, rent or buy Paths of Glory or MASH, and don't waste a cent on this mess.
